Happy Ending

Chapter 14

Guilt.

Was there no way to escape that feeling? It felt more then wrong having it. Yet, Naruto didn't know why he had it. It suited him in a way he couldn't describe, but at the same time it was something he would rather live without.

Guilt didn't suit a ninja, guilt and pity.

It's true that you cannot always deny these feelings. But when it came to the blonde, it's more like he had over done it. He blamed himself more then he needed to.

He felt guilt from not being able to help his friend when he needed it.

Also, he felt guilt for not telling Sakura about his and Sasuke's… Whatever it was called.

He felt like this about many more things. Like Sakura's mother, but he didn't think about it too much lately because Sakura would always smile like nothing was missing, and pretend that everything was like how it was supposed to be. Well, now with Lee dead she maybe wouldn't be so cheerful and kind. She would more likely be worn out from crying and lack of sleep, and be very bitchy if she felt like it. Hopefully most off it kicked in in future battles.

Naruto opened his eyes halfway. He was thinking about far too much things. He should be more concerned about the future right now, since far more things were going on. Although it has been awful peaceful since the war started.

He breathed in deeply. He loved the smell of Sasuke, it made him stop thinking. And when he was in Sasuke's arms like this, he could take in the other's scent as much he wanted.

Sasuke smelled like strawberries. And that's weird from Naruto's point of view, when he knows that Sasukes doesn't like sweet things.

Many things were strange about the Uchiha. Like how he wore his hair, how girly he looked and how gracefully he jumped between trees. That was something Naruto wanted to keep for himself. If he talked to Sasuke about it, the raven-haired boy wouldn't talk to him for weeks, wouldn't even look at him.

Scary.

Sasuke woke up suddenly, sitting up on the bed and looked with wide eyes to the side of him.

Gone?... How?

His mind started to panic and he looked around in the room, desperate to see the one who should be lying beside him.

Sasuke should have felt if someone had come, or if Naruto had moved out from bed. But now, he woke up feeling nothing in his arms but coldness.

Maybe it was a dream? Yes, it had to be. What else? Naruto would never be awake before him. It would never happen! Naruto was always the one complaining about sleeping for 'five more minutes.'

Sasuke was now standing up beside the bed. Hand over his mouth and eyebrows twisted, he was in deep thought of what may have happen. Maybe a little too deep, because he suddenly jumped and gave away a little yelp from a pat on his shoulder, and someone saying his name.

Naruto's eyes widened a little when he looked at Sasuke's red face, out of embarrassment of course. Soon after that the blonde started to laugh and Sasukes face turned to a deeper shade of red.

While Naruto was laughing, Sasuke collapsed onto the bed with his arm covering his face. He felt like this wasn't going to be his day. Oh, how he wished that this was a dream.

Naruto finally calmed down after a minute or two, maybe three, and took the place beside Sasuke on the bed lying on his stomach and holding himself up with his elbows.

Sasuke noticed the blonde getting onto the bed, but didn't make any move to look at him.

Before the silent took over completely, Sasuke decided to say something. Maybe the other thought he was angry? He really wasn't, he was too tired to be angry.

"Stop drooling over my body."

The answer Sasuke received wasn't really what he had expected, not the sexy voice Naruto was using either.

"Not my fault you only have boxers on, Bastard." The last thing maybe wasn't that attractive to say, but he knew Naruto used that like a 'pet-name' to him.

Naruto bent down and started to kiss Sasukes neck, gentle touches that made Sasukes hair stand. Sasuke removed his arm and shifted his head a little so that the boy could get more places to kiss, it felt too good to be true and Sasuke couldn't help but let a soft moan escape from his lips.

It was moments like this you never wanted to end. You always want it to last forever, sometimes even more. But, it can never last, how much you want it to. Sometimes it ends too fast and you wonder if it really happened at all. Maybe wondering if it all was just a dream that just seemed real, feeling real.

Sasuke turned his head and looked Naruto in the eyes. He was met with a smile. A smile he loved to see. Right now he couldn't be happier, and he hoped that this wasn't a dream.

The Uchiha moved his head up and kissed the boy. Making sure that Naruto also could feel what he right now was feeling, and with the response he received, he guessed that he felt the same.

The same feeling that they didn't want to end.

A few years later.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Even years can't change some thing.

Feelings for some people always stay the same. A few years ago, when there was a war with the remaining Sound ninjas, team 7 lost a member.

A great loss, but the war had ended soon after that. Konohoa had won, but had lost many good people in the fight.

No one was to blame.

No one could blame.

The sun smiled this day, not a cloud as far an eye could see. The graveyard looked more beautiful then scary, that it does on the night.

A few flowers lay on a grave.

A pair of fingers touched the stone, sighed deeply. But smiled after a while.

He missed the time when they were together. All the fun they had, the fight they had, even if it sometimes hurt like hell.

"The past is the past, you can't change it. There is no one to blame, so keep moving forward." That's something he would love to tell himself sometimes, but at the same time he knows that there is no use. It's not that easy to just walk away from everything that had happened.

Too much have been happening, you can't easily forget.

"You done?" The blonde nodded without looking at the one who asked.

"I'll come back soon and tell you more that have been happening. I promise, just wait for me. Okay?" He smiled at the grave before turning and walking away from it.

He can't forget, and he will never. He will keep the memories that they have shared as a team and much more.

"You visited the other graves too?" The blonde nodded again, not looking if the other could see him nodding or not.

They walked silently, but stopped when they were in a park full of cherry blossom threes in full bloom.

It was stunning.

A sad smile came to his lips. In a way he hated them, because they reminded of her all too much.

Sakura…

"She must be smiling at us."

Naruto stared at the sky.

"Do you want to know why I think that?"

Naruto continued to stare.

"Because, this is the first time since she died you've visited her."

He smiled at him. They smiled at each other.

"Sasuke, let's go home."´

The End

Sorry I haven't been updating. But my fan spirit with Naruto has been fading, well, not all of it but it has faded that much that I had forgot this fic.

Sorry for the crappy ending, but I didn't want to write anymore for this chapter. I'm not that into it anymore. I hope you all can forgive me! –Claps hands in forgiveness-

A big hug to every reviewer!
